skinnybob72 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 We were linked with Jack Ross, but Hibs acted quickly, appointed him and won their first game yesterday. We hoped for Michael O’Neill (who was almost certainly out of our price range) but Stoke acted quickly, appointed him and have won their first 2 games. Meanwhile we dither and let the assistant manager take 3 games in which we have generally been every bit as bad as before, other than actually scoring a few against St Mirren. We need a new man in as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Boy Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 New manager has to be an experienced guy who has a proven track record. That’s where we are now. Someone who can sort out our defence first and foremost, and then get the team playing as a unit again. We are so easy to score against and that is not good when we are sitting where we are in the table. I’d be chapping up the benefactors’ doors and then going and getting Warnock right now if I was Budge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has done it in this league before. Let’s be honest we are looking less attractive by the week to potential managers. He would be one of the better ones on a poor shortlist!!! No thanks on McCall.

He had the second largest budget in Scotland, by far, when with Rangers, and still failed to get out the Championship. He had a worse record than Ally McCoist in that league.

gashauskis9 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Big concern for me is even if we bring in an experienced manager with good calibre, we’re going to need a bit of a squad overhaul in January which could have huge financial consequences. 1/2 that line up yesterday (almost at full strength) aren’t good enough for us even as squad players. I fear we’ll be feeling the impact of Levein’s ‘projects’ for a considerable time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class of 75 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I wonder if Budge's thoughts up until yesterday was to hold a recruitment process like she did prior to Levein being appointed and say the best man was already at the club and put McPhee as manager. It would save her money and hassle. This process has taken too long and should have been sorted weeks ago. Every other club does it quickly and clears out anyone associated with the previous regime. Yet we have that clown still in the background sorting out the academy with the reek of failure still evident. A complete clear out of all the coaches is required and a new manager brought in asap.

Levein failed at his job horrifically and yet instead of being sacked we’ve decided to shift him elsewhere call him a consultant and give his job to his assistant. Odd situations like that don’t happen at ‘normal’ football clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a PHM then, is he So he is around the club, carrying out these “tasks”, working closely with the Board to continue work behind the scenes...and yet has no influence? I don’t buy that at all.

Most of the names have been pretty underwhelming. Of those mentioned, probably felix magath. I dont understand why we didnt at least speak to him. John terry would be an interesting one as well, in the gerard/lampard mould, who have both had good starts to management. Roy keane maybe as well. Of more realistic targets, I like stevie Robinson at motherwell. Think he would do well with us. Hopefully not mccann or McCall. They shouldn't even have been interviewed.

At the 18’s game , after AB said he was relieved of all football duties I initially wasn’t worried about Levein staying and keeping the lines of communication open . It now seems he could be a massive stumbling block , I have no doubt that AB is still using him as a sounding board anyone thinking otherwise is very naive. Hearts need to step it up and appoint a manager this week , a month is far too long in football , team is rudderless and going through the motions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) I quite like that we aren't going for a jack Ross, Robinson, ex player straight away. Given the history of these tyoe of appointments we'll have a good season every other before sacking them. That seems like a great situation atm, but I do respect the fact that we are possibly trying to over reach so that the team can ultimately break that cycle and emerge as a constant dominant force. I like the long term thinking and our bravery in looking further afield, even if it didn't work with Cathro. However, football fans are fickle and we do need results now. We could appoint Robbo on Monday or even Likley Robinson if we wanted to. We'd likely be appointing a new manager in 2 seasons again. I do like the ambition we are showing but results are needed now and to get that we surely need the mgt team in place. We need to balance the long term ambitions of the club with the reality that is now and the need to get stability, results and some consistency. Imo appointing someone before the game after rangers is more than enough time. I wouldn't be rushing about to appoint a Robinson before rangers for a number of reasons.
